Dead Reset Delivers FMV Time‑Loop Horror on Switch as Switch 2 Version Suffers Freezes

Wales Interactive’s live‑action collaboration uses a death‑driven loop to deliver a grisly sci‑fi thriller.

Overview

  • Wales Interactive developed the Alien‑inspired live‑action game with Dark Rift Horror, starring Daniel Thrace as surgeon Cole Mason.
  • Players make frequent choices inside a loop that resets on death, shaping relationships with characters such as Fearne, Slade and Magson.
  • PR materials cite four endings across 337 filmed scenes, and Bloody Disgusting reports a wider platform release set for September 11.
  • Reviews highlight crisp image quality, abundant gore, and uneven acting, praising Daniel Thrace and Lyndsey Craine while critiquing Andrina Carroll.
  • Wales Interactive acknowledges frequent freezes on Switch 2 and says a fix must wait for dev kits, while the original Switch is reported as mostly stable.
